First, I will introduce about effect's event
This help you determine in which situation this effect will be called!
Currently available event: ON_HIT, ON_SHOOT, ON_HOLDING
Called while the bullet hit an entity (must be vulnerable)!
Available target:
SELF
ENEMY
TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS
ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS
Called while player shoot a bullet!
Available target:
SELF
TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS
ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS
Called every 2 ticks while the player is holding this gun! (This mean you should not add too much "ON_HOLDING" effects)
Available target:
SELF
TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS
ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS
2. Type
This give the target some status, maybe negative, maybe positive!
Requirements (can be added after <target>):
Status
Duration (in seconds)
Currently available status:
FIRE
Example: ON_HIT:STATUS_EFFECT:ENEMY:FIRE:5
Explaination: It will ignite the enemy 5 seconds on bullet hit.
This give the target some potion effects such as speed, haste!
Requirements (can be added after <target>):
Potion effect type
Duration (in ticks)
Amplifier
Ambient (boolean)
Particles (boolean)
Currently available Potion effects type:
Example: ON_HIT:POTION_EFFECT:SELF:SPEED:20:1:false:false
Explaination: You will gain SPEED II for 20 ticks (1 sec) with no ambient and no particles on bullet hit.
The seventh argument is ambient while the eighth is particles
INCREASE_DAMAGE is a special type exclusive for ON_HIT event and it have different structure.
Example: ON_HIT:INCREASE_DAMAGE:DISTANCE:2
Explaination: On bullet hit, damage will be increase by 2% per block
3. Target
The effect will be applied only for player that execute this effect!
Can only be used in ON_HIT event!
The effect will be applied for enemy!
The effect will be applied for group of target in a radius!
Available:
TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS
ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS
But this is just the start, AOE target require some more efforts
You have to determine:
Radius
Center (Available: SELF)
Target's Exception
For "TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS":
It will look like: TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS_<radius>_<center>_<include self (true/false)>_<include despawnable (true/false)>
Example: TEAMMATES_IN_RADIUS_3_SELF_false_false
Explaination: All teammates in radius 3 around executor will be affected by this effect. (not include despawnable and executor too.)
For "ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS":
It will look like: ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS_<radius>_<center>_<include despawnable (true/false)>
Example: ENEMIES_IN_RADIUS_3_SELF_false
Explaination: All enemies in radius 3 around executor will be affected by this effect. (not include despawnable)
You cannot skip any effect's argument or that effect will not work!
1.3. Example
You think the guide above is quite complicated to understand? I will provide you some example:
You want a gun that the farther the bullet flies, the less damage it does:
Step 1: Set the gun damage to the maximum damage this gun can deal
damage: 20
Step 2: Add this effect
ON_HIT:INCREASE_DAMAGE:DISTANCE:-9
By doing so, if you shoot an enemy 5 blocks away, the damage will be reduced by 45%. And the damage now is 11.
If the enemy is so far away and if the damage reduction value exceeds 100%, the damage will be set to 0.
2. Gun's particle (bullet's trail)
Advance particles include: REDSTONE, BLOCK_CRACK, BLOCK_DUST, ITEM_CRACK (all of them were added since BETA-1.0.4!)
These particles require a new option called: particles-option (You can add it below 'particles'!)
Normally you only need 4 argument separated by a space to make it work!
Format: 'false <R> <G> <B>'
But if you set the first argument to 'true', it require 7:
Format: 'true <R1> <G1> <B1> <R2> <G2> <B2>' (Use this if you need transitional particles!)
